Мёртвые души

By Николай Васильевич Гоголь (1809—1852)

The smooth, ingratiating Chichikov travels from landowner to landowner buying the names of dead serfs who still count on the tax rolls, a scheme he hopes will make him rich. Gogol's comic epic of provincial Russia, here its complete first volume, is a gallery of grotesque squires, each more absurd than the last.

Summary written with Claude Sonnet 5.5.
